Biography
Peter was born in Pontypool. He studied at Newport and West of England Art Colleges, before becoming an art teacher and tutor. Ten years ago he retired and has since concentrated on his painting. His work is theme based: journeys, faces, conflicts and growing up in Newport, South Wales. It is often possible to pick out a narrative in the paintings especially the work based upon his childhood. Peter has exhibited in many group exhibitions over the years and has opened his studio for Oxfordshire art week for the last five years.
